Cinnamon Bark Extract

Cinnamon Bark Extract is taken from the dried bark of cultivated trees and is considered to be of much higher quality than extract derived from leaves. It contains an essential oil that is not only recognized for its soothing effects, but is also known to have antibacterial properties.

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring humectant in the skin, partly responsible for the skin’s moisture-binding capacity. It is derived from amino acids and is highly water absorbing. Due to its moisture-binding ability, it is a high performance humectant which increases the skin’s softness when added to products.

How to Apply:
-Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying moisturizer
-Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily
-Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor
-If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once every day or every other day
Cool Kiehl’s Fact:
When our chemists developed Kiehl’s iconic Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion in 1964, its popularity took off almost from the start. Over forty years later, we attribute its appeal not only to its superior quality, but also its versatility. Kiehl’s male patrons tell us they use it as a post-shave treatment to soothe skin and prevent razor discomfort. Legend has it that Andy Warhol was a fan!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Samantha Smart Purchase
I first bought this in early 2016 I believe and I am now purchasing my third bottle. I love this product! It helped to clear away my acne, which was terrible at the time, but it also helps to keep my skin hydrated. I have never had any success trying moisturizers that were also for acne, but this one is amazing and it works! It's also great if you wear makeup as it goes on matte and drys fast. Each bottle lasts around 2 months for me I think and it's reasonably priced.

Rated 3 out of 5 by nford Not The Best..
Personally I felt that this moisturizer is a little drying on my skin. I can't say I noticed a huge difference with my acne, but I can say that it didn't get worse.
The texture is nice and the scent is decent. I think I prefer the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion instead.

Rated 3 out of 5 by encounter Greta product with some flaws...
i really do love this product it has been one of the factors that I have been using in which has helped my acne concern but, the only bad thing of this product I would say is that when I do use it and mostly in the morning, I find my face with some really bad flakes and it's embarrassing when I go out. so I figure, I'm just going to use this product at night and have another moisturizer for the morning.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LalaW Great lotion for acne
I really like this lotion I think it works great for acne I also use a few other kiehls acne products as my skin regimen. But for this lotion I would recommend it especially if your skin is dry because it doesn't make your skin oily and I've noticed a difference in my skin it looks brighter and I have less breakouts. The only thing is that if your using it in the day time before you apply your makeup you need to let it dry for about 3 minutes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DJPoptart Why have I waited so long to try this???
I have extremely oily skin in my t-zone, blemishes always and dryness in select patches in the winter. This is the first and only moisturizer that deals with all three of those issues beautifully, AND works well under makeup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cam08 Works well
My first kiehls product and thought it to be medicinal. works well and does leave a matte finnish, although there are small shiny flakes in the mix which shows. being a guy i didnt notice it until a long time after. i got the green bottle and use it more for daily. ill keep this if i need it, i also have a bottle of the after shave lotion which works very well and is a great substitute for this in my opinion.
i think i would have had better skin if there were smaller cheaper bottles for everything. hope to see that soon, one of these sat on my shelf for over 3 years. kept it with me even with consistent traveling until it was out.

I love all of Kiehls products. But this one was a disappointment. I broke out from it and it just felt greasy. I'll stick with my regular products. It was just a waste of money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TXKiehls Great for summer months!
I live in Texas and have oily/combination skin. I use this about 6 months out of the year - mid-spring to mid-fall - along with the Herbal Blue cleanser. And I love it! It helps prevent breakouts. I don't typically have full-blown acne, but this helps control mini-breakouts around my hairline, chin and other sensitive areas. For me, the Blue Herbal products are a little drying during the fall and winter, so I switch over to the Ultra Facial Cleanser then. But for the hot and humid months, this is the best! I never have issues with flaking - I just wait until it dries to put on makeup. That should solve the problem - treat it the same as you do primer.
